You mean, just like basically every electric appliance ever made for the past, what?, 40 years?
That explains why my Marantz amplifier from 1980 (which I still use) came with a circuit diagram that I will consult in a near future to fix a low frequency hum that started occurring a few weeks ago after 34 years of flawless sound reproduction. oh wait...
In the mid-late 90's it were not uncommon that mobiles were sold with an extra battery and charging station that charged both the battery in the phone and the spare one I know this might sound a bit like dark magic to some iPhone users but I assure you that it isn't, more than once did I favor one with this over another that required me to buy these extras separately. I could easily swap batteries if needed, and this were in the days when one charge actually would last for days in difference from today where users look for apps and tweaks to conserve battery power just to make it last from morning 'till evening. One would expect that with smartphones and their relatively poor ability to hold a charge this would be even more important today. But, apparently many people just go "Ooh... shiny" then spend a great deal of their time whining over how they cannot make their charge last even one working day.
A battery that require special tools to replace is hardly a convenient solution to this, one that you can replace by snapping off a lid is.
Apple has announced that it has designed its new operating system, iOS8, to thwart lawful search warrants.
The piece opens with a blatant lie.
Apple may not have designed it to thwart lawful search warrants but they certainly market it that way.
On devices running iOS 8, your personal data such as photos, messages (including attachments), email, contacts, call history, iTunes content, notes, and reminders is placed under the protection of your passcode. Unlike our competitors, Apple cannot bypass your passcode and therefore cannot access this data. So it's not technically feasible for us to respond to government warrants for the extraction of this data from devices in their possession running iOS 8.
take away our bacon cheese burgers and beer and NFL/NBA/MLB and get rid of all the booze like prohibition and make everyone bow to Mecca five times a day and keep girls from walking around in shorts because you know THEY HATE OUR FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You got it all wrong it never were about hate of our freedom, it is a genuine concern about the obesity problem the US is having and they figure dietary restrictions, exercise 5 times a day greatly would improve the issue, and fat asses in too tiny shorts... Well, most of us rather not see that.
Discovery. Smart. Show. Seriously, what the fuck! (please don't get me started on your mentioning of "scientific") Has it even been possible to put those three words in the same sentence since 2004?
So. He is getting punished for infecting hundreds of thousands innocents with cerebral gonorrhea for free. I saw it and agree with the verdict. Hang the evil bastard! Can we now see Diesel, Morgan, Johnson, Thompson and Lin dangle next to him?
No? Didn't think so. Fuck you Hollywood!

Snippet: Despite finding that Mayfield’s print was not an identical match to the print left on the bag of detonators, FBI fingerprint examiners rationalized away the differences, according to a report by the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG). Under the one discrepancy rule, the FBI lab should have concluded Mayfield did not leave the print found in Madrid — a conclusion the SNP reached and repeatedly communicated to the FBI. The FBI’s Portland field office, however, used that fingerprint match to begin digging into Mayfield’s background. Certain details of the attorney’s life convinced the agents that they had their man. Mayfield had converted to Islam after meeting his wife, an Egyptian.
Ariel Sharon were not exactly blameless either being responsible for actions like the Qibya massacre in 1953.
The attack began with a mortar barrage on the village until Israeli forces reached the outskirts of the village. Israeli troops employed Bangalore torpedoes to breach the barbed-wire fences surrounding the village, and mined roads to prevent Jordanian forces from intervening. At the same time at least 25 mortar shells were fired into the neighbouring village of Budrus. The Israeli troops simultaneously entered the village from three sides. IDF soldiers encountered resistance from soldiers and village guards, and in the gunbattle that followed, 10–12 soldiers and guards defending the village were killed and Israeli soldier was lightly wounded. The soldiers did not thoroughly inspect the homes in the village for the presence of residents, and when military engineers dynamited dozens of buildings across the village, scores of civilians were killed. At dawn, the operation was considered complete, and the Israelis returned home.
Seriously this fucking blame game really have to end! Both sides have committed atrocities. To claim otherwise is at best astoundingly ignorant, at worst plain evil with roots ethnic bias.

To put that in some context, how would the international community have reacted if the British government (during the Irish "troubles") had sent the RAF to bomb neighbourhoods in Belfast or Derry because "we think there are some terrorists there"? It wasn't acceptable then and it's not acceptable now.
But of course it is acceptable, they are all muslim terrorists set on taking over the west with explosive filled underwear not good Christians like those nice blokes in IRA and everybody else in Belfast.
Israel isn't carpet bombing the Palestinians, they're targeting legitimate military
I doubt that UN spokesperson Chris Gunness would agree with that:
there had earlier been "firing around the compound" and his organisation had asked the Israeli army for time to evacuate civilians. "We spent much of the day trying to negotiate or to coordinate a window so that civilians, including our staff, could leave. That was never granted and the consequences of that appear to be tragic." Gunness said the Israeli military were supplied with coordinates of UN schools where those displaced were sheltering. UN sources told the Guardian a call was placed to the Israeli military at 10.55am requesting permission to evacuate but their call was not returned.
And as most of us know that ended with 15 civilians killed and over 200 injured, many severely so.
Just gloss over the fact that Hamas is now the legitimate ruling party of a sovereign Palestinian nation, and yet violates the Geneva Conventions on a regular basis.
The Geneva convention section 3 article 53:
Any destruction by the Occupying Power of real or personal property belonging individually or collectively to private persons, or to the State, or to other public authorities, or to social or cooperative organizations, is prohibited, except where such destruction is rendered absolutely necessary by military operations.
Guess which nation that have a long history of routinely being in direct breach with article 53 in it's expansion of settlements.
I've seen Israel do things for the benefit of Palestinian citizens that Hamas refuses to do.
Indeed, like when Israel built Gaza's first and only airport in the late 90's only to have it demolished by Hamas 4 years later. Oh! right it was the other way around. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y... But of course that is not a bad thing as the airport now is a valuable resource for hard to get by construction materials for the rebuilding of other structures./sarcasm
Not sure whom you refer to, but if it is Tariq Aziz Iraq's former Deputy Prime Minister then he is very much alive in a Baghdad prison but with a pending death sentence.
I certainly agree more that Iran is far, very far from a role model when it come to democracy and human rights. Then again one can question whether a nation where in many places women face increasing obstacles in getting an abortion, executes mentally handicapped, detain people for over a decade charges and engage in extraordinary rendition is that good of a role model either.
Aha! That is why IDF demolished the only Airport in Gaza 12 years ago and block most vessels from docking at the Port of Gaza. Things are so much clearer now. Thank you./sarcasm
The majority of intelligent people regardless of political affiliation do not have anything against Jews as a people as we are mentally capable of of separating the individual from the actions of the Israeli government. Can you say the same about yourself in regards to Palestinians and Hamas?

Yes. No-one should not have to provide "legitimate explanations" about their internet usage on such flimsy criteria.

And it doesn't help Israel in the least when the pro-Israelis repeatedly lie their asses off.
Above AC should be modded as informative as it highlights the social media aspect mentioned in the summary.

should have read: detain people for over a decade without charges

A peace where the occupier continues to steal land from you at an ever increasing rate. Sure, that sound like an offer you can't refuse. Right?
